Increase the sleeping time before the first check to 10 seconds, and try every 2 seconds. But increasing these values cannot really solve the following problem: Guest is too heavy loaded, and have no time to response the rebooting (method=shell) request, so session.is_responsive returns False, and we pass the first 'kvm_utils.wait_for'; a WHILE later the load becomes lighter, and sshd (or rss) become responsive, whether or not is guest rebooting, here we are trying to establish a session to the guest at this point, unfortunately, we succeed and pass the second 'wait_for', before rebooting kills sshd (or rss).
